I agree with the first part, not the second. It is fine for humanity to work on aging, but I don't think it's a societal imperative. Death and aging sucks; and that is fine. It is part of being alive. The utter fear of death many of us harbour inside is a strong force that manifests itself in many beautiful forms. I am terribly afraid of death, yet I would not choose to upload my consciousness to a machine. I would not put myself in suspended animation. I would not like to live 300 years either. There is deep comfort in knowing that my days on this planet are limited and life is short. Better get a move on. |

That's understandable. I'm concerned for my loved ones and the impact it may have on them when I go, but I have no fear of death for myself. I have no memory of the millions of years that passed before I was born and expect to have no memory, feelings or consciousness after I have died. I just won't be here any more and that's perfectly okay.
